‘Elvis at one time thought that he would be forgotten. He didn’t get to tour all of the places he wanted to go, and Australia was one of them,’ she said in a video shared by ABC Central Victoria.
‘So it’ll be exciting for all of you to share his life and the things that he did, the clothes that he wore, especially his jumpsuits.’
Drawn on her thoughts about the town of Bendigo, Priscilla said: ‘I love it here. This is so quaint and unusual. This is a town I’m in love with. It’s really, really sweet.’

Elvis passed away from a heart attack in 1977, leaving behind daughter Lisa Marie Presley, now 54.
In an interview with People, Priscilla also reflected on her marriage to Elvis, saying: ‘I loved taking care of Elvis very much. I loved tending to him.
‘I loved feeding him. We would baby talk, because you have to have your own language when you have that many people around. It was a good life. It was different, but it was ours.’
